4X3X2 = about 180 gallons. According to my aquarium calculator.. 3 feet sticks out more than I would like, so I wanted 2ft, just better. Height yea it could be done at 3 ft, but its a bit over the top, its for 1 snake, maybe a second. Yea the ventilation would be fine enough to prevent escape. Whats wrong with ventilation? My current tank is just screen top, with a few books to cover it. I can always make the screen part a bit smaller than the actual lid, no big deal.
Would plywood be ok? I would have the floor covered and a bit of the wall to prevent too much absorption, but I don't think it would be a problem, especially if it was outside.
